 tokens representing the various WAI-ARIA roles that the element belongs to.
 These tokens are role values defined in

 <p>The WAI-ARIA role that an SVG element has assigned to it is the first
 non-abstract role found in the list of values generated when the role attribute
 is split on spaces. </p>
